Coffee with a Codex: Astronomy in Latin

Event box

An informal lunch or coffee time to meet virtually with Kislak curators and talk about one of the manuscripts from Penn's collections. Each week we'll feature a different manuscript and the expertise of one of our curators. Everyone is welcome to attend.

On July 23, curator Dot Porter will bring out Ms. Codex 826, an astronomical work originally written in Arabic and translated into Latin by Gherardo da Cremona, including glosses and diagrams. Our copy was probably written in Paris, France, or Oxford, England, in the mid-13th century. 

Note that the Zoom links for Coffee With a Codex are reusable - register once and attend every Thursday at 12pm EST / 5pm GMT.
